Looking for boy and girl names that go with the surname Dent 😁

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Dent, Al.

Its a character from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy...

Thank you - I said it in my head several times failing to find the pun or innuendo and was very confused 🫤

Al Dent.

There's a couple that have suggested this - do you both have a mean streak? That's a horrible combo that will subject the child to bullying!

Pru

I went to school with a Theodora Dent. She also went by Thea which sounded fine with the surname due to the hard 'a' at the end of Thea

Theodore Dent for a boy doesn't right though

it sort of was a weird half pun in the original idea for the radio series. Half a dent in a Ford Prefect.
sorry that is next level nerdery.

I never knew this! I love this fact.

HeCharters · 25/02/2025 20:33

Stuart or Prunella
Anything beginning with R

honeylulu · 25/02/2025 20:34

Provi?
Or Grace, obviously.

Velmy · 25/02/2025 20:35

Arthur. He'll be a traveler for sure 😊

tillytoodles1 · 25/02/2025 20:35

Suzie Dent does Countdown. I like that name.

Snoopdoggydog123 · 25/02/2025 20:13

Harvey!!!!

I'm surprised nobody else has suggested this!😆

ReadingRubbish · 25/02/2025 20:40

I like Dent as a surname. What about an alliteration.

Danial Dent or Duncan Dent

HeCharters · 25/02/2025 20:41

Dunk and Dent?

HeCharters · 25/02/2025 20:42

@tillytoodles1 , she's Susie.

I can’t believe nobody’s suggested Random Dent for a girl. Have none of you read the 5th book in the Hitchhiker trilogy, Mostly Harmless?

itsgettingweird · 25/02/2025 20:49

Serious answer though

Ethan
Elliot
Sebastian
William

Matilda
Elizabeth
Amelia
Isabelle

I agree the name needs a few syllables to counteract the one syllable surname.

Luddite26 · 25/02/2025 20:51

Susie or Judi.

Couldn't finish the first book, found it so tedious.

Came here for the “Arthur”, wasn’t disappointed 😁

Catch you later hoopy froods!

To the mystified. Find out more about Arthur Dent here on World of Books £3.50.
The book I would pick if I could only pick one book for a desert island.
But I don't think the OP should name her child this. I like the four syllable idea.
